Product Description
Hydromol Bath and Shower Emollient, 500ml
Why We Chose This Product
- Bath oils have been shown to reduce dryness in the skin (although a large study in 2018 showed that they didn't reduce eczema severity overall).
- Hydromol can be used in the bath or shower.
- Hydromol disperses easily in the water without leaving residue.
- It is soap free
- It is suitable for all ages: adults, children and babies.
- It contains no fragrances or colourings or preservatives, so it is less likely to cause an allergic reaction to the skin.
- The main ingredient is paraffin. Paraffin is useful in eczema, as paraffin is not an allergic material.
Ingredients
Light liquid paraffin, Isopropyl myristrate, C12-C14 Alcohol with 3 molecules of ethylene Oxidate (Fatty alcohol ethoxylate), Polyol Fatty Acid Ester, Iso-octyl stearate.
Cautions
- Use of bath oils in the bath can or shower be a slip hazard
- Bath oils are flammable.

1) Bath: Add 1-3 capfuls to 20cm of bath water and soak for 10-15 minutes 2) Shower: Pour a small amount onto a wet sponger or flannel and gently rub into wet skin. 3) Rinse and pat dry when finished.
